Gopinath Mohanty Compilation

Legendary writer Gopinath Mohanty has brought Odia literature to the attention of the world through his contributions covering diverse fields like novels, short stories, drama, tribal anthropology and language and through his reseach on Sarala Mahabharat. He was the first Odia recipient of Sahitya Akademi award (1955 for ‘Amrutara Santana’) and Jnanpitha award (1974 for ‘Matimatala’). He also received the Sovietland Nehru award for his translation of Maxim Gorky’s ‘My University’ in 1970.

He was born on April 20, 1914 at Nagabali, a village on the outskirts of Cuttack. His father was Suryamani Mohanty and mother Durgadebi. Renowned Odia writer Kahnucharan Mohanty was his elder brother.

He worked at Jajpur, Koraput, Jeypur, Baragad, Chhatrapur, Aska, Cuttack, Rayagada, Puri and finally at Bhubanesar during his service period. During this time he portrayed the people and life at these places through his writings. He retired from service at the age of 55 years in 1969. He spent over a year during 1986-87 as an invited speaker at various Universities of California and recorded his travel experience.

He has to his credit 25 novels, more than 200 short stories, a fascinating autobiography (unfortunately incomplete after 3 volumes), 3 biographies, a unique volume of literary criticism, 2 kavyas, 5 translations, 5 books relating to tribal language, a book consisting of 9 research-based essays on Sarala Mahabharat and a book presenting about 30 letters.
